Liverpool had previously suggested that they wouldn’t sell Suarez for anything less than £75million, but appear to have altered their position with Suarez making it clear that he did not want to stay at Anfield any longer.

Suarez, who is currently serving a four-month ban from ‘all footballing activities’, was given the green light this week by Fifa to have a medical with Barca, after suggestions he wouldn’t be able to.
